About this house rental

Our beautiful, one of a kind, round pedestal home at waters edge has amazing views, incredible dock, swimming, water fun, and the most relaxing spot you'll ever visit...all available for you.

With wrap around balconies, windows and glass doors all the way around and on the water's edge, this home has views and breezes like no other. Huge private dock with steps down to the white sand turquoise waters, two large sitting areas with thatch roof tiki's for shade with a sunset tiki bar that overhangs the beautiful water. Large island float with headrest and cup holders, tied off on mornings makes for never ending fun and relaxation.

No need to worry about the kids because these are the bone fish flats, which means besides having incredible turquoise waters with white sand bottom, it also has no drop offs, no undertow, just enough waves to enjoy the sounds and the water is only 3-4 feet deep at it's deepest as far as you can walk or swim. No mucky sand here.

Sit and read or layout on the white sand directly in front of the home when tide is low. Large kitchen, large living area, and 2 large bedrooms upstairs. 2 sleeping lofts downstairs with queen beds as well.

We keep it clean, always updating items, adding as we go. It is a comfortable beach house right on the water. We are all about comfort and location.

NEW downstairs bathroom as of 6/2/2024. 3 full baths and dock shower as well.

This home is designed to maximize the views and breezes and it is absolutely spectacular!!! The deck beneath the house is beautifully finished with barbecue grill and furniture to relax and eat while enjoying the beautiful view and breezes. Take your family out on our TWO double kayaks or our TWO stand up paddle boards for an adventure and explore the island cays that are part of your view, or bring your fishing pole to fish in the worlds best bone fishing waters that are your front yard.

Aqua Vista is wonderfully semi secluded and quiet, with the ocean breezes through the whispering pines and waves gently crashing on the shore being all that you hear. We do have a house next door now, but they are their maybe twice a year and are very quiet.

Aqua Vista is also only 10 to 12 minutes drive to Georgetown where you can find all the restaurants, stores and activities you could want. It is 2 miles from our house to Queens Highway and then 1.7 miles to Exuma Market downtown. Take a boat tour, take a scuba/snorkel charter, do water sports, go deep sea fishing, or rent your own boat, we have a local guy that keeps his little boat at the house.

Eat at the wonderful local restaurants, go grocery shopping, souvenir shopping or drive the island to explore the many world class beautiful beaches.

Exuma in an hour or less direct flight from Miami or Fort Lauderdale, or a little longer flight direct from Atlanta, Charlotte and Toronto.

Car rental and taxis are available at the airport. Uber is not on the island and taxis are hit and miss, we suggest everyone rent a car. We always get our cars from Thompsons right at the airport. Roads are narrow and you will be driving on the left so just take your time and be careful.

Our caretaker Mr. Bethel, will meet you at the airport and escort you to the house. He will stop along the way to show you where to get supplies. The roads in Exuma are littered with potholes(third world Issues) and the back roads to our places has quite a few as well, it an adventure just because it is a true third world road. Just go slow and pay attention and you will be just fine.

During your stay you can work directly with Mr. Bethel about other errands around the Island as well. He has a minimum trip charge of $50 that is paid directly to him as each trip happens.

The island runs on 2 generators and every few days the power will turn off for a short time, usually about 30 minutes and it is overnight so you never notice it. We have put in Solar and backup batteries, should be fully functional and us off the grid by end of September.

This is our 2nd home and we always want our renters to communicate with us about any and all things. So please ask us anything and we will do our best to make this as memorable as we can.

Aqua Vista is relaxing, beautiful and more than just a home, it is an experience!!!

This place is off the beating path, exactly what we wanted . We had our own private beach area , never once saw a neighbor even though there’s a home next door. The owner has thought of literally everything you might need there . There’s a closet in the kitchen area that has EVERYTHING you can think of that you forgot to bring lol. Beautiful home and a lovely island. Can’t wait to go back.

We had a nice stay at Aqua Vista. The views of the crystal blue waters will take your breath away. The dock was our favorite place to be. On the drive to Aqua Vista heed the warnings of the roads, once you turn off of Queen’s Highway (the island’s main highway) the roads are rough. The time to get from Aqua Vista to the highway is about 15 minutes. Once at Aqua Vista the first thing you notice is the vast ocean scenery, it does not disappoint. The kayaks, paddle boards and scuba gear are a big bonus! The house is nice. Unfortunately we found cleanliness to be lacking in the kitchen. The blender was dirty, the stove top was dirty, there were little bugs crawling on the counters. The bugs were so small I couldn’t tell what they were, I did get some videos of them. There was some cleaner under the sink so I wiped everything down. We chalked up bugs to the tropical location and moved on. The rest of the house and bathrooms were clean. (I recommend packing good toilet paper, paper towels and as much food as you can.) We had an issue with the water while there. The power went out for 2 hours (this happens on the island) when the power came back on, the water was sputtering, a toilet upstairs would run for a long time after flushing, we woke up to no water one morning. It took about 10 hours to get water back. We turned the toilet off for the remainder of our stay and had no issues. Aqua Vista is a beautiful location, it’s so quiet. If you’re looking for peace, this is it.

From viewing the listing to booking then staying and checking out everything went so smoothly. The house is even better in person the VRBO listing doesn’t give this house the justice it deserves!!! We are so happy we choose this house to make a memory with our family.

Prior to our stay, Eric provided an island guide via email that we found incredibly helpful throughout our trip. Upon arrival, Tony met us at the airport and helped us get to the rental car building. Tony led us to the house and showed us around, making sure we had everything we needed. We had an absolutely amazing stay. Aqua Vista was so perfect that we didn't even feel the need to leave the house most days. We took the kayaks to a remote island, paddle boarded, went snorkeling, and collected shells (all at the house!!!). The kayaks, paddle boards, and snorkeling gear significantly improved our trip and we were so grateful that these things came with the house. The house was even better than the pictures and everything was spotless. The road leading up to the house is pretty rough, but we made it there in a Pacifica mini van just fine. Eric was extremely responsive and we had no trouble getting in touch with him when we needed to. I can't say enough great things about this rental - we would 100% stay again!

We chose Aqua Vista because of its location, we wanted to be close to the Bonefish Flats and enjoy some solitude! We saw a handful of boats go through the entire week! We basically had the entire area to ourselves. Kayaks and paddle boards were used daily. House was clean, comfortable and well stocked with basic items. My kids enjoyed the new rooms recently added downstairs. Eric was absolutely amazing before and during the trip! I’d highly recommend this house for your Exuma visit!

We really enjoyed our first trip to Exuma and Aqua Vista was a great house to stay in with a beautiful deck and crystal clear water. We really enjoyed having paddleboards and kayaks available to us and the house had all the basic necessities you needed for cooking, taking trips to the beach etc. Staying on this side of the island is unique being on the bonefish flats as the water is calm and shallow which my 12 year old loved..we didn’t really have much beach to sit on at low tide this time of year but we also had alot of wind the week we were there. The only downside was that because of location of the house you had to add 10-12 minutes to any trip to get out to the highway because of the road conditions. We were aware of this before we went so we weren’t surprised and it was kind’ve cool to be in such an isolated place. It is still centrally located on the island and we enjoyed day trips to other beaches to see the ocean side with its beautiful waters! Eric, the owner/manager, was excellent with communication before and during the trip and having Tony meet us at the airport was very helpful to be able to show us around and guide us to the house. Great experience overall..can’t wait to make it back to Exuma soon!
